Council Local Laws
With restrictions lifted and some students returning to school on Tuesday 26 May, Council’s Local Laws officers have been patrolling and monitoring parking behaviour during pick up and drop off times.
Over the past two weeks, our officers have observed many drivers with poor parking behaviour, including not adhering to control signs such as ‘No Stopping’ and ‘Bus Zones’.
Council understands that drop-off and pick-up times can be a stressful time for parents and guardians, especially with social distancing requirements and staggered pick up and drop offs. However, we want to ensure that there is a safe environment for all road users and pedestrians.
To ensure motorists are following the road rules, from Monday 15 June, Local Laws officers will be actively patrolling school areas across Maroondah. If motorists are found to be breaching any road rules they will be issued with an infringement.
A Local Laws officer may do this by either attaching the infringement to the vehicle, handing it to the driver or by sending it to the registered owner of the vehicle. There is no requirement for an officer to have a conversation with a driver prior to issuing an infringement.
If anyone receives an infringement, they have a right to an internal review, details of which can be obtained on Council’s website.
We encourage you to advise your school community of the importance of following the road rules and advising them that any breaches may result in an infringement notice.
Should you or anyone in your school community have queries or concerns, they can contact the Local Laws department on 1300 88 22 33.
